Hey guys,

Looking at upgrading the exhaust on my R34 GTT over the next few months. I was just wondering what my best options are for with:

- Quiet on idle

- Loud on high RPM

- Offers the highest performance

- Budget of $1,000

Anyone have recommendations and stores to buy from?

Thanks

For highest performance you'll want a full turbo back including dump, front pipe and a high flow cat.

I'd offer a couple of other requirements to add to the list if I may:

  • Properly fitted and tucked in for maximum ground clearance, there's nothing worse than scraping your car or mid muffler on speed humps all the time
  • Not droney at standard road speeds 60, 80, 100, 110

The cheapest may not be the best. I have a full frankenexhaust mixed from random parts, it fits well and performs great but is droney and probably ended up being more costly this way too...

This doesn't really exist with the budget you have.

Unless you want to buy like, someone's second hand exhaust and then do a little modding/fabbing to make it fit and work with your setup as every setup is a bit different.

In other words, buy my old exhausts, thanks - Nothing off a shelf is going to satisfy the criteria you've listed

$1000 will only get you something second hand if you require turbo back and it will either be loud or restrictive.

I'd probably try to find something second hand that flows really well and stick a decent muffler in it.

I can probably compromise on a few areas for now. With just a basic exhaust surely $1,000 is sufficient? (Excluding installation)

It can be done, try Jesse Streeter or Import Monster and see if they can supply a Fujitsubo Legalis or similar. Understand these will have a restrictor inbuilt and will struggle to make top end power, but will sound great and be legal or close to legal dB.

Otherwise there are quite a few places that could do a custom stainless system for that coin.

Buy a cheap mig, a hooker aeroflow, a Berkelee straight through.. Some pipe and bends.

Make. It.

Then you also own a shit mig welder. But it's an exhaust. So shit welds are ok.

That's what you get when you pay an "expert " to make one.

You will either crash car or sell it before exhaust wears out......or falls off, depending how shit you weld.

Google. How to weld.

If you want to get some ideas for a modded setup here's what I have:

  • JJR 3" bellmouth dump/front – customised (to ensure good fit with my Hypergear IWG, and for ground clearance)
  • Venom 3" high flow metal cat – flows much more than the XForce I had first
  • Custom 3" piping between cat and mid muffler
  • Small mid muffler – for good ground clearance
  • HKS Super Drager 3.5" to 5" rear section and muffler

It would have been cheaper to build a full custom system rather than mixing and matching parts over time but oh well. Also full second hand systems for the sedan are like hen's teeth.

And get raped hard. What a bloody stupid idea to promote...

A decent exhaust doesn't improve in power when you drop it.

LoL one out of a million effective methods.

My R34's pumping 380rwkws internally gated with exhaust dropped, make no where where near it with 3 inches exhaust back on. I'm sure you will come up with a quite alternative.

I have a full turbo back system to suit an R34 sedan that I may be willing to part with if anyone ever requires one.

Psssh, I have two of them! :P

How does that system actually work? Because looking at it, I actually thought it was a better (i.e, far easier to hide) system than Scotty's "external gate on housing" setup.

Then again, why not just simply make the dump diameter that size?

Car is currently running a full 3 inches SS Havoc fabrications turbo back exhaust with two megnaflow mufflers keeping it quite.

The idea is getting back pressure out of the exhaust system. Valve is spring pensioned that is forced open by exhaust gas pressure when > 3psi. It is currently opening at WOT in 3rd and 4th.

    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
